Default Cable to remote CH motorised valve

Depending on route chosen, it will require 5 to 8m of cable to connect
to the main CH controller. The cable into the valve is 5 way x 0.8mm
sq (ie 1.0mm dia) - 4 control lines plus earth. The valve operates at
240V, so the cable needs to be rated for mains.


For preference I should like to use standard elec backing boxes to
house the connections at each end, and bury the cable run under the
wall plaster.


Please can anyone suggest a suitable cable & source?


I'd be inclined to use two TW&E under the plaster and sleeve for
identification then flex for the ends where it's outside the wall. Make
sure the TW&E is properly protected according to regs.

Flex from any decent wholesaler or he-
